چکیده
Epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas are rare vascular tumors, often arising from medium to large veins in the extremities. Symptoms of these tumors vary depending upon location. Rarely, tumors may arise in chest and involve large vessels in the mediastinum. We present a case of a 17-year-old male presenting with compressive symptoms of the left upper extremity who was found to have a large epithelioid hemangioendothelioma encasing the left brachiocephalic vein.
